As part of EEA's ongoing security and identity management improvements, we are currently migrating the system to Entra ID authentication.
We kindly ask all users to start using Entra ID credentials when logging in to the system. 

Please note that LDAP authentication will be phased out and disabled by the end of August 2026. We encourage you to verify that you can successfully access the system and that your account and permissions function as expected after Entra ID login. Should you encounter any issues or require assistance during this transition, please contact Laszlo Cseh at laszlo.cseh@eaudeweb.ro Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Target code/description
BLK-BG-D6C5-Target: The extent of the habitat adversely affected by all human pressures (including habitat loss) as a proportion (percentage) of the total natural extent of the habitat in the assessment area shall not exceed 20 %. In those habitats where the extent threshold was exceeded in the reporting period 2012-2017 the proportion adversely affected shall be reduced to 20 %. In those habitats where the extent threshold was not exceeded in the reporting period 2012-2017 the proportion adversely affected shall be maintained at the level of 2017.
BLK-BG-D6C5-Target: The extent of the habitat adversely affected by all human pressures (including habitat loss) as a proportion (percentage) of the total natural extent of the habitat in the assessment area shall not exceed 20 %. In those habitats where the extent threshold was exceeded in the reporting period 2012-2017, the proportion adversely affected shall be reduced to 20 %. In those habitats where the extent threshold was not exceeded in the reporting period 2012-2017 the proportion adversely affected shall be maintained at the level of 2017.
T_BLK_BG_D6C1_Seagrass: The proportion of the seagrass habitat physical loss should be less than 5 per cent.
BLK-BG-D6C4-Target: The habitat loss as a proportion (percentage) of the total natural extent of the habitat in the assessment area shall not exceed 5 %. For the reporting period 2018-2023 there shall be no further loss of the representative broad habitats above the proportion established in 2017 assessement.
T_BLK_BG_D6C2_Seagrass: The proportion of the physical disturbance on the seagrass habitat.
T_BLK_BG_D6C5_Seagrass: The proportion of the seagrass habitat adversely affected by human impacts.
T_BLK_BG_D6C3_Seagrass: The proportion of the seagrass habitat adversely from physical disturbance.
T_BLK_BG_D6C4_Seagrass: The proportion of the seagrass habitat lost from human impacts should be less than 5%.
6.5.2: 75% of M-AMBI*(n) values > 0.61 in infralittoral sand and circalittoral mud
6.4: The extent of loss of each habitat type, resulting from anthropogenic pressures, does not exceed 5% of the natural extent of the habitat type in the marine unit.
6.5.2: 1. 75% of AMBI*(n) values > 0.68 in Mytilus galloprovincialis biogenic reefs on circalittoral mud, 2. 75% of AMBI*(n) values >0.61 in offshore circalittoral mud with Modiolula phaseolina, respectively
